I plan to do the Cushing's Awareness Challenge again. A past year info is here:  https://cushieblogger.com/2018/03/11/time-to-sign-up-for-the-cushings-awareness-challenge-2018/

The original page is getting very slow loading, so I've moved my own posts to this newer blog.

As always, anyone who wants to join me can share their blog URL with me and I'll add it to the links on the right side, so whenever a new post comes up, it will show up automatically.

If the blogs are on WordPress, I try to reblog them all to get even more exposure on the blog, on Twitter and on Facebook at Cushings Help Organization, Inc.  If you have photos, and you give me permission, I'll add them to the Pinterest page for Cushing's Help.


The Cushing’s Awareness Challenge is almost upon us again!
 
Do you blog? Want to get started?
 
Since April 8 is Cushing’s Awareness Day, several people got their heads together to create the Tenth Annual Cushing’s Awareness Blogging Challenge.
 
All you have to do is blog about something Cushing’s related for the 30 days of April.
 
There will also be a logo for your blog to show you’ve participated.
 
Please let me know the URL to your blog in the comments area of this post, on the Facebook page, in one of the Cushing's Help Facebook Groups, on the message boards or an email  and I will list it on CushieBloggers (  http://cushie-blogger.blogspot.com/ )
 
The more people who participate, the more the word will get out about Cushing’s.
